Holding a gold coin in his hand, Zhang Chao looked at it carefully.

This gold coin is like the Sorida gold coin in Rome, and it also has the emperor's avatar. The front of the gold coin is the side image of Zhang Chao.

The painter painted well and was very vivid. The engraver was also very amazing, making his avatar look wise and majestic on gold coins.

Unexpectedly, one day, his Zhang Chao's avatar was actually printed on the Dahua Chao coins.

Zhang Chao, wearing twelve crowns on his head, just passed forty years of forty, which was the most charming time.

"I'm so handsome!"

Zhang Chao looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh. What should others do if such a handsome old man is? In the future, people all over the world will know the emperor's handsomeness through these coins, and even his handsomeness will be passed down to future generations. What should other men do if they do?

What if all women in the world regard him as their idol from now on?

Zhang Chao's shameless narcissistic look made Xu Hui, who was sorting out the memorials, couldn't help but laugh again.

"Xu Cairen, you must agree with my ideas very much, right?"

Xu Hui really wanted to see the White Emperor at a glance. Unexpectedly, the emperor had such a fun side, and actually said to his avatar on the gold coins.

"Your Majesty, what does the commander mean?"

"Ship? Of course, the original intention of the general is a marshal. One of the thousands of troops is a marshal. The marshal is quite majestic. I have been the general several times before, commanding thousands of troops and fighting on the battlefield. Thinking about that time, when I stood in front of that formation, the whole army was immediately full of morale, and the enemy was so scared that he urinated."

"So, the word handsome is not simple, just because of me, handsome has a new definition. He is not only a marshal, but also describes the handsome and handsomeness I was when I was a marshal. In short, you can understand this handsome as handsome and elegant, handsome, handsome, handsome, and handsome……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

Xu Hui was really amused.

Who can explain the word "super" like this, and who can praise themselves like this?

It’s really Wang Po who sells melons, boasts himself, and praises too much.

But she also admitted in her heart that the emperor was indeed handsome.

Well, by accident, she couldn't help but use the word handsome to describe it.

"Your Majesty, the avatar on this gold coin is indeed very handsome."

"That's because I'm handsome." Zhang Chao was in a good mood, so he was very shameless.

Luzon's gold production increased again, and after Yili's gold mine was handed over to the Royals for mining, the amount of mining also increased significantly.

Coupled with the gold earned from its trade surplus with countries such as Rome, the amount of gold coins minted this year is quite amazing.

The Royal Minsheng Bank and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China have all set new highs in minting.

The latest style of Zhang Datou gold coins, with a gold content of 88% and exquisite casting.

Following the explosion of gold in two major gold mines in Luzon and Yili, the Zhang family's detective team discovered many gold mines on the Jiaozhou Peninsula.

The gold mine reserves on the Shandong Peninsula are quite rich, which was the largest gold mine area in China in modern times later. Zhang Chao told the Kantan team based on his memory and asked them to search for it. As a result, his hard work pays off and he finally discovered it.

The gold mine reserves on the Shandong Peninsula are more than those in the Ming Dynasty of Yili and Luzon, and have jumped to become the largest gold mine in the Dahua Dynasty.

Such great news has caused the stocks of the Royal Gold Mine Explorer Company to soar several times.

After Zhang Chao became emperor in the Tang Dynasty, he did not change the past agreement between him and Cheng Qian.

The right to issue money was still handed over to the central bank. Of course, this agreement was also of great benefit to Zhang Chao, who had become emperor.

However, Zhang Chao did not expand the amount of money issuance. He still maintained the previous agreement, issuing 100 million yuan in three years, and when it issuing, the old money will be recycled. Each year will be held every three years, and the reserve will reach 20 million stalemates.

Zhang Chao used one million taels of gold as reserve.

Strictly controlling the issuance of paper banknotes is still of great benefit, which can greatly avoid inflation.

Xu Hui didn't quite understand why Zhang Chao liked gold coins so much.

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, why do you still like this yellow and white thing so much?"

Zhang Chao smiled.

After having been in contact with Xu Hui for a long time, he also realized that this young literary woman was still a standard Confucian disciple and was a great weakness in the economy.

Although Zhang Chao respects Confucius and Confucianism on the surface, in fact, Zhang Chao is just transforming this Confucianism little by little under the name of respecting Confucianism.

This is even a comprehensive transformation, and Zhang Chao wants to create a brand new Confucianism.

In Zhang Chao's terms, of course, we must keep pace with the times. Although Confucius and others are very creative in some philosophical thoughts.

But in many fields, they actually have many shortcomings.

Not to mention that in science, they are far behind.

Economics, science.

This is the direction Zhang Chao is transforming Confucianism.

Science is the primary productive force, and only by liberating productivity can the economy develop, which has been proven.

What Ru and Zhang Chao used was just some of his thoughts, such as the distinction between China and the barbarians, the idea of ​​unifying the whole country, and the people's peace.

Beijing Normal University is just the beginning and an incubator.

When countless people who have been enlightened by scientific ideas take up social positions, their influence on society and on Confucianism will become increasingly greater.

It's like such a simple gold coin.

What Xu Hui saw was completely different from what Zhang Chao saw.

The gold coins Xu Hui saw were just gold coins. He believed that the emperor should not pay too much attention to money, and the emperor should pay attention to be kindness and righteousness.

Although Zhang Chao also agrees with Confucian benevolence and righteousness, he also pays attention to money, because benevolence and righteousness are the goal, but money is the means.

How can we achieve our goal without means?

The mistake many Confucian scholars make is that they only have goals but no means, which is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree.

I call for a strong country and a rich people every day, but you don’t even have any economic means. Can empty talk strengthen the country and the people? Of course not.

In Zhang Chao's eyes, a gold coin extends to currency, then finance, and then the world's economy.

Currency is the medium of economy and a bargaining chip.

In the commodity economy, it occupies an irreplaceable important position.

Zhang Chao has been regulating currency, not easily issuing paper money, and constantly strengthening the reserves of precious metals. These are all to stabilize the market and maintain Dahua's stability.

Most people in this era know the economy very little, let alone macro-control.

With the arrival of the second year of Revival, the prime minister Jinwu couldn't help it.

From the first day of the first lunar month to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Hanjing is full of bright lights every night, which is the most lively Lantern Festival.

It lasted for half a month.

Hanjing, which was revived for the second year, was full of prosperity and happiness.

At the imperial meeting.

Cabinet Prime Minister Ma Zhou proposed a five-year plan to the emperor, which was the first five-year plan of the Dahua Dynasty.

"In the next five years, the population of China will exceed 100 million!"

Ma Zhou said excitedly.

From 50 million to 90 million today, and then to the target of 100 million, the continuous surge in population is by no means serious land annexation, the increase in landless farmers, and the serious gap between the rich and the poor.

Because now is the beginning of Dahua’s founding, Dahua has expanded its territory everywhere, but what it lacks is not land, but the population that has newly built land.

The industry and commerce are booming, and what is lacking are the mines in the mines, the workers in the workshops, the workers who build roads, the workers who dig canals, the workers who build ships, and the workers who build cars...

The court did not suppress annexation.

But the land now is the cheapest period in all dynasties. The land in the Central Plains is very cheap, and the land in the border areas is even cheaper.

Every Han citizen, as long as they want, can own their own land and even become a landlord.

But even so, the land that has been captured is still not fully reclaimed.

The manpower required by industry and commerce is still growing.

In five years, the population has grown by 10 million.

This was regarded by Ma Zhou as his first goal plan in power.

Population growth has actually been an important criterion for the performance assessment of local officials.

"We plan to lower the age of Cheng Ding to 18 years old. A man can get married at the age of fifteen, and a woman can get married at the age of thirteen. A man who is eighteen and an unmarried woman who is fifteen will be forced to marry by the official media."

There are only three ways to increase the population.

First, it is naturally to reduce the age for men and women to get married, so that they can get married early and have children early, and increase the population. In order to ensure early marriage, it is even stipulated that they must pay fines or even forcibly marry if they are not married at the age.

The second method is to attack the surrounding areas and conquer those foreign populations.

The last method is to buy slaves.

Compared with the latter two methods, of course, the first method is cheaper, and those born are all pure Han people. It is of course much simpler than taking time to assimilate and Chinese them.

However, having children takes time, and a generation will also take a lot of time to grow up. Therefore, it is also a good choice to conquer foreign populations and buy slaves.
